What is “Supporting”?
Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. You and every other supporter are standing up for an idea with the power of your voice.

How do I support?
Choose between your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account to grant Thunderclap permission to post a message on your behalf. That’s it! If the campaign reaches its support goal by the deadline, Thunderclap will automatically post your message and all other supporters' messages at the same time.

A note on privacy
When you log into Thunderclap using your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account, you’re allowing our platform to share a single message on your behalf. That’s all. We use the absolute minimum permissions possible to post a message on your behalf. The platforms we integrate with sometimes include additional permissions that we do not use and we will not post anything from your friends' accounts.

The 6th
Round of NAFTA Renegotiations is happening December 11th-16th
in Washington D.C. These negotiations are happening behind closed doors with
500 corporate advisors granted special access and the public locked out. The
corporations are fighting to preserve
the special powers in NAFTA that make it easier for CEOs and companies to
outsource jobs to Mexico and to attack our laws before panels of corporate
lawyers who can order unlimited payments of our tax dollars to foreign
corporations.

NAFTA
lacks enforceable labor and environmental standards so companies can move U.S.
jobs to Mexico to pay workers poverty wages and dump toxins and then import
those products back to the U.S. for sale. Workers in Mexico and the US lose
while corporate profits soar.

Since
NAFTA, Mexico's already low wages are down 9 percent and U.S. wages are flat,
while the price of everything has risen. Unless we rewrite NAFTA, NAFTA will
keep giving the green light to corporations to outsource American jobs, pushing
down wages.

That is
why on December 13th a national coalition of labor, environmental, consumer,
faith, and farm groups are calling Congress to demand that NAFTA renegotiations
put people ahead of corporations by:

including
labor, environmental and climate provisions with swift and certain enforcement
of fundamental international standards to raise wages for all workers and
protect the planet, and

removing NAFTA’s
investor protections that promote job outsourcing.

Call-in Script
Below:

“Hi this is NAME
from CITY/TOWN. I’m calling to ask the
Congressperson to please demand that NAFTA’s renegotiation put people ahead of
corporations by eliminating NAFTA’s job outsourcing incentives and adding labor,
environmental and climate provisions that meet fundamental international
standards, include swift and certain enforcement, and raise wages for all
workers. A vote should not be held until
these essential standards are met.”
